"Our primary goal with this strategic realignment is to expand the positive synergies between temporary exhibitors and permanent showrooms," explained Dorothy Belshaw, president of Gift & Home Décor, International Market Centers. "By emphasizing adjacencies of related categories of temporary and permanent resources, we are creating a dynamic and seamless shopping experience for buyers and maximizing the cross-marketing opportunities for vendors."

Temporary exhibitors in the home, textiles, style and made categories are set up on floor C5 to complement permanent showrooms located on floors C3 and C4.
